Programs and results
What we aim to solve
The U.S. and world media landscape is dominated by commercial and corporate enterprises who seek to profit from the work they produce, and are at the mercy of their advertisers and investors. The wide range of social problems that should be addressed by media with serious attention are of second importance to these constituencies—and as a consequence, the public is often given insufficient, poor or misleading information on pressing issues.
